So life has thrown another curve ball, which we know happens. Being a mother and watching your children go through different stages of their life as they grow is a normal thing. Then they grow and things start happening that are truly beyond your control, you watch them go through horrible things. As a mother you want to take that horrible thing away from them and go through it yourself. That is where I am at.right now. I would go through this trial for Desirae if I were allowed to do so. I know that we all grow from our trials and that she will become stronger as she beats this cancer thing. I know she will. She has a great husband, and 4 wonderful children that will help her through it. She has parents that love her and sisters and a brothers that love her and are here for her to help her through the rough times. I know that is why Heavenly Father organized the family unit, for that support system.
When Des called me Fri 8-19-11 and told me her biopsy was positive, it truly never hit me (I knew what she said but couldn't wrap my head around it) until I was sitting in the Surgeons office with her and he was going over her options, it was like I woke up from this nightmare I was having only to find out that it wasn't a nightmare at all it was really happening. It was happening to my BABY!! That is not OK with me.
I know that she is a strong person and she will not let this get her down, I know that her faith is strong and those two things together will get her through this. The medical profession has come along way with beating breast cancer, so along with that and with her strong will, her strong faith, and family support she will beat this.
I will be right by her side in the Race for the Cure in May, can't wait to run/walk that with you Des. I love you :-)

Brit told me today. Im so sorry that she has to go thrthrough this.. Your family is in my prayers.
I wouldn't let you take this from me because if I saw you going through it then I would want to take it from you and we would just go back and forth like that and the cancer would still be there. ;)
I think today brought a little more reality to the situation for me too, but I still feel in a fog. I don't think it will really feel real until I am in that operating room.
Thank you so much for being here with me today. I love you and am so thankful to have such a wonderful mom who loves me and would take my cancer away from me if she could.
Start thinking of a great t-shirt slogan for the Race. We are going to have the best shirts there. :)
I want to let you and Des know that I am a stronger person because of both of you! You are such a great example to me! I love being a part of this great family. I am right there with you fighting this too! Cancer is the enemy and we WILL win!
What an absolute shock. I cannot believe this. I'm so sorry this is happening. Our whole family is pulling for you Des. Love and prayers to the whole family.
We love you Fowlks Family!!
You are all in our prayers at this time!
I am so sorry to hear this sad news!! Thinking of you, Fowlks family!! Hang in there.
